The statement is correct because Windows NT 4 ran on MIPS, PPC, Alpha, and x86.
This brings up a good point though. The <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;en-us;lifewin" title="microsoft.com">end of life for NT4</a microsoft.com>* is less than a month away. This means no more security updates, etc. Has Linux ever dropped support for an entire architecture, let alone 3 of them?
